Family Members of UK, EU or EEA Nationals

Family Members of EU nationals exercising Treaty Rights in another EU country and EEA Nationals:

Family members are:

The direct descendants (children) who are under the age of 21 or are dependants, and those of the spouse or partner.

The dependant direct relatives in the ascending line (e.g. parents) and those of the spouse or partner.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Please check the title on your UK residence card/sticker to establish whether you hold a "Residence Permit" or "Residence Documentation/Card". THEY ARE NOT THE SAME AND DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS APPLY.

If you hold a Residence Documentation sticker or a plastic Residence Card as a family member of an EU national according to Article 5, cf. Article 10 of EU Directive 38/2004, you do not need a visa for travel to Denmark/Iceland, if you are accompanied by the EU national who depend on.

Please note that UK nationals living and working in the UK do not exercise Treaty Rights.

If you are travelling to another EU country other than Denmark or Iceland you should check with that country's embassy in the UK whether they also accept you as being visa exempt.

It is advisable to print this page and to present it together with your letter from UK Border Agency regarding your Residence Documentation/Card and proof of your relationship with the EU national to the airline at the point of departure or Danish/Icelandic Border Control on entry into Denmark/Iceland in case of problems.

Please bring both originals and photocopies of the required documentation as well as completed application form and applicant's passport.

Passport of UK national (photocopies not accepted)

Travel tickets (return tickets as proof that you are travelling with UK national)

Please note that in order to process an application under EU rules, it is necessary for the applicant to produce evidence (in the form of return tickets) that he/she is travelling with the UK national. This is because for visa purposes UK nationals are not considered EU nationals in their own country, until they leave and travel to another EU country. It is therefore only possible for the Embassy to issue a single entry visa. If you would like to apply for multiple entries, you cannot apply as a family member of an EU national, but must apply as under 6. below and pay the visa fee.

6. Holders of a Residence Permit on the basis of being married to/partner/child/parent of a UK national travelling without the UK national you are dependent on: visa required

Please note that for visa purposes both the passport and UK Residence Documentation/Residence Card must be valid for the duration of your visit to Denmark. A UK Residence Permit and passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond the visit to Denmark.

Applications from family members of EU nationals are prioritized and processed faster. Please note that some nationals are subject to prior consultation in one or more Schengen countries, before a visa can be issued. The consultation takes around 8-10 days. Please see the list of countries.
